Ktorrent is dependant on kde and I'm sure it'll never be in the base ISO of Puppy. Ctorrent is in the base ISO and a simple gui frontend for it. There are plenty of extra dotpets if you need something more advanced, like Transmission or Rtorrent. Personally I love Rtorrent but the ncurses interface may scare people away.

btw pctorrent and pcreatetorrent are both already in dingo
if there is an opera version (or puplet - such as Pupeez - there are several) you could use that instead since opera has torrent built in (amongst many other things)

moving along from puppy in my search for lightweight os that handles torrents well
segfaulting on transmission one version, another version works mostly but fails when clicking a link when it's already open, another version is a dead link on these forums (a very poor way to distribute software).. ugh

Plus this one really gets me, the package manager has an non-resizable window that doesn't even fit in 1024x768.. how frustrating must that be for new users on their old 800x600 hardware

Pctorrent does not let you select the ip address, it simply uses 0.0.0.0 which is fine if you have no firewall and you have only one interface. I have two interfaces and the second is the wifi. Pctorrent apparently will not find that address since I can never down load anything. So it would be a good idea to select the most configurable client with the smallest foot print and include that. Unfortunately, utorrent does not have alinux versiou cause I'm sure that would work as I have been using it for years.

According to the site/blog for pctorrent that is one of the things that he is working on. While I agree that size is important as a basic principal behind puppy - and I love it for that - the truth is that many of us need the flexibility of eth0 or eth1 when using laptops, etc.

I selected puppy, which I love BTW, because of it's small foot print, runs in ram, and ease of installation. I just do not have the $$ to buy new OS from Micro$oft every three years and then upgrade the hardware too!
